Daniel - No Degree - IT services basically everything from home user machines to corporate environments(this is what we focus on) with up to 50 users, worked for myself for a year just taken my company under another companies umbrella.
Generally I find when people first of all ask me how old I am and I reply 21(or 18 when I started) they are shocked that I left school so early for uni, then I inform them I have never been to uni, I have never had a bad reaction to that, always get a "Good for you" or "Impressive" etc, and some of these people are very well thought of in the business community obviously I know I have been very lucky with where I have done my work etc and the people I have met. I do agree with Lucy as she said, I do miss sometimes not having the same background as some uni students have as well as having the same structure.
